I tried a couple U.S large size banknotes and it found them without difficulty. So, I decided to try a hard one, heavily cancelled and not really clear whether it is a Sc.136 or an Sc.147 and that also looks a lot like an Sc.184 not to mention Sc.207. The example I used is included below -- heavily canceled but the important parts of the stamp are visible and it came back picking out Sc.136 and had Sc.147 as a next choice. Pretty neat.
Here is a link to the image search:

I got that mail too, but have not tried it yet. My experience with image recognition is not that great but now that I read your review, I may have to revise my opinion.
Still, it somehow takes away the charm of fanatically going through a catalogue in order to find that one stamp you have in front of you. But I also understand the practicality

Did you do it using the phone app? I tried the phone app recently and if the stamp is cropped so only the design shows (no perfs) it did a decent job on identifying.

Angore asked if I used the phone app. Nope, just my desktop with a huge screen. I have an iphone and like it but don't use it for everything but it could be interesting to see if it can id really obscure stuff. So, I may try it.

I would say definitey not a 207 since it is missing the small 1mm cut above the TS.
And then it would need to have a clear H grill to definitely be a 136. and 147 3C have no grill whatsoever, so if it is thin wove paper it must be a 147.

I got an email today that indicated Colnect had improved their image search. Well, I had never tried the old one but decided it was worth giving this a whirl.
